As outlined in #75, I tried removing
Flux.jlas a dependency to improve package loading speeds. It speeds things up by about 30%, going from 2.4s to 1.7s in Julia v1.9.Downside is that we have to re-implement a few common interface things from
Flux.jl, likeglorot_normal, and to removeZygote.jlwe'd have to re-implement theBufferand it's adjoints withChainRulesCore.jl. Not worth it for now.I've left a note in
src/RobustNeuralNetworks.jlon how to removeFlux.jlas a dependency if we want to do this in the future.
